Laura (Patient) 06-22-2011
I was recently diagnosed with Stage I endometrial cancer. A doctor I trust highly recommended Dr. Weiss. He is very personable and easy to talk to. He answered all of my questions, provided me with a lot of information, and helped reassure me prior to having a hysterectomy. I had a total abdominal hysterectomy and my recovery has been very smooth and uneventful!

While in the hospital, one of my nurses shared that she is also a patient of Dr. Weiss. As a nurse, she has contact with many doctors around the Chicagoland area. Dr. Weiss was given high recommendations by his colleagues.

Completely out of the blue, my gynecologist told me he had to assume I had an "advanced ovarian cancer" and gave me Dr. Weiss' number to schedule an immediate surgery. Still freaking out from the presumed diagnosis, I called towards evening and Nancy, bless her heart, with her calm and friendly manner, got me in to see Dr. Weiss in a couple of days. Both my husband and I met with him. Of course, I only heard the beginning of the conversation because once he told me that, assuming "the cancer hadn't invaded anything I couldn't live without", he thought I would be fine. I had a stage 4 ovarian cancer, had a hysterectomy and left a few other organs behind. This was more than four years ago. I still see Dr. Weiss every three months and he IS the most calming, reassuring doctor I've ever met. In the beginning, I would go with a legal pad full of questions (which he always would take the time to answer). I'm now down to a sticky note each time I go, but still get all the time with him I need. I have had to recommend him to other friends and they all agree with me--a more wonderful doctor you will not find! Thank you for saving my life, Dr. Weiss!

I started seeing Dr. Weiss about 6 to 7 years ago. Dr Raju Chatterji recommended him, and I have to tell you the man is a saint. I was diagnoised with HPV, and it is at the cell level. Although Dr Weiss see's me every 3 months for pap smears, he has reassured me it will not get to the cancer level as he will not let it. I have to say he is one Dr. I do not mind seeing and I have to see many. Hats off to Dr Weiss and his staff the nurses and nancy they truly are GEMS. See ya next month Dr. Weiss. Kathy

An abnormality was discovered during a routine physical with my gynecologist. After an ultrasound and two CT scans I was referred to Dr. Weiss for surgery. As a nurse my mind ran rampant with worst-case scenarios but his calm demeanor and willingness to answer questions put both me and my husband at ease. I left that appointment with the first glimmers of hope that the outcome would be good.

I subsequently had a total abdominal hysterectomy for what turned out to be a large, benign ovarian cyst. Both my gynecologist and primary care physician had me expecting a finding of ovarian cancer. Only Dr. Weiss remained optimistic.

As a healthcare professional and a patient, I emphatically recommend Dr. Weiss for his clinical skill, caring manner and attitude that his patients matter to him.

I was diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer in August of 2003. When my husband and I met Dr. Weiss, I felt immediately comfortable, reassured and confident that he was the dr. to help me. He explains things thoroughly, has a gentle, compassionate sense of humor and knows his stuff. Within a month, my surgery was successfully over and I was able to continue on my merry way. Five years after a total hysterectomy, I am still cancer free thanks to Dr. Weiss. I'll miss him and his wonderful staff, I recommend him without reservation.

Dr. Weiss is a wonderful person and a terrific doctor. I had a tumor that might have been an indication of uterine cancer. I was terrified, but Dr. Weiss's kind attention and patience helped me get through that difficult time. He answered all my questions and those of my husband, explained the medical facts in detail, and was very reassuring. The TAH he performed was flawless. To top it all off, he has a delightful sense of humor that makes it seem more like you're talking to an old friend instead of a doctor. I cannot recommend Dr. Weiss highly enough. I have already recommended him to a cousin recovering from endo cancer and wouldn't hesitate to send anyone to him.

Dr Weiss not only has fantastic beside manner, but he is exceptionally knowledgable.
Dr Weiss put his patients at ease, immediately. Before I had my appointment with him, I was told that I had either uterine or ovarian cancer. Two days later, I was in his office, and after he reviewed my records, he assured me, that he based on those records it was HIGHLY unlikely that I had cancer, and he was RIGHT!The man is an angel.
His disposition is always pleasant, soft spoken and I feel genuinely careing.
Dr Weiss and his staff are truly remarkable. They are concerned, nurturing and professional. Doctors and other medical professionals should take a look at Dr. Weiss' practice and they can learn what makes a superior medial practice.
Thank you Dr Weiss

At the age of 18 I found out that I had cervical and vaginal dysplasia, and was scared out of my mind. My doctor couldn't tell me what was wrong with me, and only gave me Dr. Weiss' number. And thank God she did! He explained absolutely everything, in noncomplicated terminology and told me what my options were. He answered every question I had. He also has extremely good manners and made me feel more at ease. He did surgery on me, and if you ever need to see an oncologist gyne, he is definitely the one to go to. He knows his stuff.

I had the good fortune to meet Dr.Weiss recently, he preformed surgery on me in September.
Being a senior, I have been to many doctors in my life and find Dr.Weiss and his girls (staff) are exceptional, professional, caring people, making visits to his office stress-fee and pleasant .
I would highly recommend him to all women especially having confidence that other OB/Gyne doctors recommend him to women who have other issues beside the routine pap smear & exam.

Dr. Weiss is a fantastic doctor. I would highly recommend him to anyone!!!. His bedside manner is awesome!! He truly cares about his patients. Other physicians should take lessons from him. He helped me through my difficult time with uterine cancer and did a fantastic job on the surgery.
I recommend him as a AAAAAAA doctor.
